"Encouraging agriculture, suspending punishments, handling prison lawsuits, being humble as a corporal, the main thing is to win people's hearts." Han Shuer Kuan Zhuan
Wang Yi's heart suddenly became ecstatic. He knew that the emperor's words meant that he had decided that he would also be the governor of Hedong County. He intended to build his own team of confidants in Hedong, so he naturally wanted to control key departments, so he also raised A virtuous man never avoids relatives: "Yuan Yilang was in charge of Liangze in Hedong. He is quite capable and can take care of his affairs well."
"Well, the Liang clan in Hedong is one of the few high-ranking local families who have never joined the traitors. This can be regarded as a reward for merit." The emperor nodded in agreement, and then said seriously: "Tuntian is the most important policy of the imperial court, and cannot be neglected. , if you are still as careless as before, you should be more careful!"
"Your Majesty, I promise you!" Wang Yi responded with awe-inspiring thoughts and hurriedly said: "I have short-term intelligence and your Majesty won't abandon me. How can I sleep with you in silence?"
After saying these things, the emperor raised his eyes and looked at Yang Pei, who was sitting at the bottom, with a somewhat solemn expression on his face: "Yang Kongqu?"
"Cao Chenpei is defeated in Hedong, and I bow to your majesty!" Yang Pei did not dare to sit down and talk with the emperor like Wang Yi, the governor of Erqianshi County. He stood up and left the table with great etiquette, and walked to the atrium to bow to the emperor.
Yang Pei has a beard on his chin. He is a straight-looking man, and his black robe adds a bit of majesty and stability.
The emperor was very satisfied with this appearance and his meticulous character. He nodded and said: "From now on, you will supervise the postal services of Hedong County, patrol the counties, pick up powerful lawbreakers in the township, and be responsible for interrogating Fan. First, Cheng Yin and others are planning to rebel."
The governor is a county magistrate with a light and powerful position. He usually patrols the place and is responsible for the promulgation of religious orders, and inspecting officials for any illegal activities, as well as inspecting cases, jails, and illegal crimes. Responsibilities. Even the county magistrate of a locality dare not underestimate them. The work format is similar to the inspection team of later generations, but the powers and responsibilities are much greater than them.
Originally, the interrogation of Fan Xian and other major cases was not a difficult case. As long as the emperor's attitude of eradicating the roots was found out, it would be a great achievement to make him clear and punish him. What's more, the power of being promoted to the county is almost as strong as that of the county governor and the governor of the county. Post, this is already a great reward for Yang Pei. But Yang Pei didn't look happy at all, or even had any fluctuations in his expression, and said dryly:
"I dare not obey my orders."
As soon as these words came out, not only the emperor was slightly surprised, but also Wang Yi, Pei Qian, Guan Qiuxing and others who were sitting there were shocked.
The emperor had great authority and power. Many people longed for the emperor to grant him a big job but could not get it, but Yang Pei refused.
Yang Pei enforces the law fairly. Although Wang Yi has not been with him for a long time, Wang Yi doesn't like this thorn in his heart. He is also a non-direct subordinate. He was impressed by his own talents and could get support from his colleague Du Ji, and he did not want to have a subordinate like Yang Pei who was not willing to accept hard and soft advice and had his own set of principles for doing things.
What's more, Yang Pei and Du Ji were both recommended by Xun You and placed in Hedong. This also made Wang Yi wary, so when he seized the opportunity, he couldn't help but pick on Yang Pei.
"Mr. Yang." Wang Yi raised his eyebrows and said leisurely: "This is your order, how can you disobey it without authorization? You have to tell me a reason, otherwise, you will be contemptuous of your majesty."
Huangmen Minister Guan Qiu Xing was also staring at Yang Pei nervously at this time. For Guan Qiu Xing, who was born in a powerful family in Wenxi, Hedong, it is best to be strict in the interrogation of Fan Xian, Cheng Yin and other powerful people. , only in this way can the Guangqiu family stand out.
After thinking about the key points, Guanqiu Xing felt that it was the best thing for someone like Yang Pei to be responsible for law enforcement, and he also had his own interests to consider, so he explained: "Isn't Yang Jun responsible for this?" As for this, there should be other reasons or problems?"
The emperor did not speak. He sat upright and looked at Yang Pei quietly.
I only heard Yang Pei say slowly: "How dare I use my name? It's just my humble opinion. Fan Xian, Cheng Yin and other traitors ignored the national law and colluded to cause chaos. Their crimes are so serious that they are no longer just a county governor. They must be punished." Cao Cao can then sentence and convict. If your Majesty wants to handle the matter according to the law and consider it as a warning to those who come later, then the court officials such as Tingwei, Si Li and other court officials will publicly review the crime, and even the court will discuss the crime, and it cannot be decided by Jue Cao and other small local officials."
To show the seriousness of the rebellion by Fan Xian and others, it must be raised to a level of public trial. According to Yang Pei, it is indeed inappropriate and impossible to highlight the case just by local judicial officials. The importance of this case comes.
"You are right. This is a serious crime that has been elevated to the national law. It is indeed difficult for local officials to intervene in the trial, but you reminded me." The emperor waved his hand and said: "It seems that we need to arrange a court official for you to handle the matter. "
This was said as if Yang Pei was dissatisfied that the postal supervisor's position was too small. He quickly bowed his head and said, "I don't dare! I'm just worried that the name and reality are not consistent, and it is not enough to show how much His Majesty attaches importance to this case."
"However," Yang Pei raised his upper body again at this time and said slowly: "If Your Majesty does not mind that the minister is foolish and shallow, and allows the minister to exercise his power as a court official, the resolution of the case will be twice the result with half the effort."
The emperor looked at the serious look of the other party and couldn't help but smile and said: "Okay, you will still accept the position of postal supervisor, and then I will let you guard the court. If this case is handled well, you can follow me back to Chang'an, and we will be here from now on." Serve under Dharma Master."
Yang Pei understood the meaning of the emperor's words and said happily: "I promise!"
"I'll give you a yardstick." The emperor wanted to see what kind of ability this cruel official named in history would show, so he said: "This case must be carried out in accordance with the law, strictly and severely. Don't worry about any involvement. Punishment measures such as exile, confiscation, etc. previously taken against Fan Xian and others can be regarded as examples for reference. If there is any progress, you can come in and report to me at any time."
Yang Pei responded one by one. At this time, he only heard the emperor greeting him: "Zixing."
Guanqiu was startled and immediately replied: "I'm here."
"You are a local. When Yang Kongqu is solving crimes and clarifying the relationship between powerful people, if there is anything unfamiliar to him, you have to be there to help."
Guanqiu Xing felt a sudden change in his heart, knowing that the emperor was intending to build up the reputation of his Guanqiu family in Hedong, and also to repay him for hearing that the Guanqiu family had not betrayed the traitor.
After sending everyone away, the emperor stopped Pei Qian, who had been acting as a decoration and said nothing, and said: "I heard that the Wei family has a volume of ministers in possession, and there is an only copy in it. Can you take a look at it with me?"
Pei Qian followed the emperor calmly to the bookcase at the back. He saw the emperor actually picked up a volume from the desk and handed it to Pei Qian: "This is Wei Bo's handwriting. His handwriting is really good. You can call us everyone.”
"Wei Jun is good at calligraphy and is famous in Hedong for his wonderful penmanship. I have never seen him before." Pei Qian smiled and turned over the pages, then looked at them twice and said.
"He was quite talented. It would be a pity if he just disappeared." The emperor stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Pei Qian, who was only two years older than him, and said quietly: "Wen Xing, how did you do it?
